Well I'm not missing food as much as I was since I am now on solids but I still have a hard time making my mind stop wanting to eat when I'm full. I tend to eat a bite too much and then regret it. I have lost 23 pounds so far and I have lost a couple of pants sizes so I am pleased about that. I was hoping that the weight loss would be a bit more significant but this is probably due to eating a little too much. I am still a bit lazy when it comes to exercising but I am trying to walk more. I hope that the next month goes a bit faster than the first. Thanks for any responses to my post.

My nutrionist said you could stall at any point as long as it wasn't for oever 3 weeks. You're still starving your body and its wondering what the hell is going on. give it another week or so if you're still stalling check with your nutrionist.

Good luck for your surgery, I had open rny, so I got my staples out wednesday, boy does it feel good without them in, I had a g-tube also that had to come out and I was terrified, because the other tube that they had inserted in my new stomach had come out in the hospital, I was not ready for that one and after it was out it was too late to say it hurt.. lol.. So I was pretty scared for the g-tube but you know I was all tensed up and the doctor said most people can't even tell when its out and you know he was right. did not feel a thing just a little suction pressure, no pain. I am eating soft texture now. I am still having trouble with the full feeling, have you ever swallowed a large peice of ice or a big peice of candy and get that painful feeling up your back, thats what I get when I eat to much Im thinking, nothing has come back up yet, and I don't want to test it. I had apple sauce tonight that I made from an apple myself and for about 30 minutes now I have that this pain in my back.. Protiens and water I don't have a problem with either, we feverishly looked all over for protein powders and things with protein and I don't even have to have any shakes anymore because I get way enough protein from the stuff I eat. I have been making good high protein choices. keep in touch ....and It really is great....

I had lap RNY 4/24. I am feeling great, I lost 30lbs prior to surgery and now I am down 20lbs in 3 weeks since surgery. I started doing water aerobics at the gym this week. The first couple of days it wore me out but as the week went on I am doing better. Took today off and only walked. Keep up the progress we are in this boat together. Sharon

I just posted about the very same thing. I am thinking we are all just stuck in a stall. But I do keep saying to myself, I hope this isn't it lol. Did I do all this for just 18 pounds. But reading over posts I see it happens alot. Hopefully we will start to lose again. Best of luck to you all.
